Examples would be breathing and thinking. It changed my life. It is one of the few books I've recommended to people over the last 20 years. Those that read it are always abundantly grateful to me afterwards. It is replete with wisdom. Dan Milman and the man called Socrates, 'Soc', are embedded in my psyche. It is helpful for overcoming the fear of death. Indeed it is a brilliant coping manual for life. (less)

This was an interesting book from many perspectives, it kept my attention and it was entertaining and easy to read. However, I found myself questioning a lot of the assertions made and at the risk of sounding all new agey a lot of it didn't resonate with me. Perhaps it was the authors occupation as a gymnast and his preocupation with the physical and his ego. I found it hard to relate to his problems and therefore some of the methods of Socrates. I think perhaps that it was just too masculine a...more

i wanted to like this book more; perhaps i didn't because i had expected some Simple Truth in the pages, some life manual that would point me to utter and extreme bliss. to a certain extent, it's there -- if you're looking for the Zen lifestyle. i'm not particularly sold on Zen, though i suppose there are some basic Life Lessons you could glean from this novel: detach yourself from the need to acquire worldly goods, remember we're all part of everything else, etc.

I'm going to keep this one short, or at least try to, because, to put it simply, this book was a huge disappointment.
Loosely based on the spiritual journey and personality transformations of the author's youth, the story ended up far too fictionalized and fantastic to remain credible. At first, the young man's personal struggles were very easy to relate to, and the events that started him on the path to eventual enlightenment were ordinary and believable enough, and my attention was firmly captu...more

I think the biggest warning sign for this new-age fluff piece is that it says in the title 'a book that changes lives'...if a book has to say it in the title, it ain't true. Let the text of the book speak for itself, and it's effects on the reader - don't make it a 'sell point'. Lame.

Many of the events in this book are said to be true, but the book is fictional. Right from the start, I was yearning to hear Dan Millman's true story, not a fake one. And I never got past that. As a guide to changing lives, as the title suggests, I applaud the author's efforts to introduce spiritual elements into everyday living. An introspective way of life can be rich and rewarding, and for those searching for deeper meaning this tale points the way. Clearly, many people have found it useful....more

This book reminded me of The Empire Strikes Back when Luke meets Yoda mixed with the karate kid. I can't say my life was changed but it does have that classic teacher/student life lesson theme that people will spend money on.

I picked this book because it came recommended by somebody I consider pretty motivational. Unfortunately, this book wasn't all that I was told it would be. The writing itself is average at best. There are parts where the message is spelled out for you, but the rest of the book doesn't really make any progress. Still, there are some basic concepts included in this book that are worth considering, and that I will probably think about for some time to come.

Every time the author made a comment about a woman, I threw up a little. Between his objectification of women and all the egotistical descriptions of his physique and his performance, it's extremely difficult to root for the main character...or continue reading the book. The lessons of Socrates are well worth learning, however. There are just plenty of other books out there that have the same teachings without the offensiveness.

I didn't understand this book. I think it's the kind of book that has to come to you at the right time in your life for it to have any meaning. I like Dan Millman as a person (from what I know of his talks and my aunt following him) but his writing leaves a lot to be desired. It's just not very good (yes, my standards are high and casual readers might not care. But there's clunky writing and then there's clunky writing with no depth, which is what I slogged through here.

While I didn't hate this book, my life was also certainly not changed. The author is a pretty poor writer, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry that one of the jobs/services he provides (as listed at the back of the book) is 'Literary Coaching.'
About a third of the way through the book, I started picturing Socrates as Morgan Freeman, and mentally reading his dialog in Freeman's voice. This helped immensely. Dan started off as Ryan Reynolds, but eventually devolved into Keanu Reeves, because...more

Supposed to be a real life story of gymnast who, while in college, meets a gas station attendant who he nicknames Socrates, and is like a Zen monk or something, and the scenes are like typical anime tropes of the bearded wise sage hitting the smartass youth in the head with a stick.

A valiant effort, but hokey storytelling ruins what could be an excellent introduction to meditation, mindfulness and the Warrior (Budo) way. Although this is promoted as a true story, I had a really hard time believing that most of it wasn't fabricated or exaggerated. The true path to enlightenment is usually much more internal, and in that way can be much less outwardly glamorous yet inwardly dazzling. I am sure Millman intended to convey that awe and wonder in his writing; probably every writ...more

This book should be entitled: 'A Narcissist's Guide to Spirituality'
Not really a fan. I think the deeper message is lost for me because of the callous disregard this self important snob has for himself. The writing was a complete chore, very preachy and poorly written - very limited vocabulary.
But the main irredeemable quality is that he tramples so many people without any care for their lives, or how his actions affect others.

Even though Millman may not be the most prose driven writer out there, he somehow manages to get his message across mostly through dialogue. I read this book after struggling with crippling mental health issues as well as addiction, and some of the ideas he presented were worth some more thought, albeit on my own time.

Poorly written and annoying. The dialogue is painful. Too much rather forced mysterious mystical supernatural goo. It distracts from the message.

A very well done story that engulfs you even as I argued with many of the 'truths' that Millman presents. I saw the book through to the end and even looked at his website and followed up on his bio info to see where he is today. As a story that makes you think about where you are going and the speed at which we live our lives - always in the next moment- it offers some sage advice to living in the moment and finding the happiness there. I just disagree with the way and how.

Take Plato's 'Allegory of the Cave' (from the Republic), a large dose of Eastern thought (largely what seems to be Buddhism), an OK narrative (but for non-fiction stretches credulity at times), shake well and bake into a book. Reading the reviews, people seemed to either love this book or hate it. I simply was not impressed. Some of it is good, and there are some good points made, but would I recommend it? Not necessarily to be honest, but I would not slam it either.

The first half of the book I was going to give it a rating of four stars since it got me thinking more than a few other books that I'd read recently. The second half dropped it to two stars since I left the book feeling worse off than when I started, which isn't really something that I want to get from a novel.

As I started this book I was thinking there was going to be more to it. As I continued on I felt it was lacking the motivation to be better like many other similar books that I have read. I more or less hurried through to just finish it. It did have some good lines of inspiration, but definitely not a book I would recommend nor one that I would choose to reread.

One man's voyage to self discovery and enlightenment, I didn't really relate to the story although I think there were a couple of points that could be relevant. Might work for some but didn't for me.

Yes, this book did have some valuable insights to remember. Other than that it was a pseudospiritual journey that was too absurd to have ever taken place in reality. I liked the movie way more.
